Chapter 7: Strange Spirits Out of the Water

It was getting late, and the villagers of Sujia Village, who had endless questions, were all sent away by Su Zhe under the pretext of "it's late at night, it's late", this crowded open space soon became wide, and after dusk, the sky and the earth were dark, but under the illumination of the jade lamp in the sky, it gradually became clear.

Only Su Zhe and his team and the two old men Su Yu and Su Shui were left in this open space.

"Big ...... Xiao Su, if you don't call your people, go and squeeze in our house. One of them said to Su Zhe that in the past, they were all called Su Zhe big dogs, and they were used to it, even if they knew that Su Dagou had changed his name to Su Zhe, it was difficult to change his words for a while.

In a small remote village where culture has not grown and spread, there is no such thing as a good name, even a name like Su dog shit.

Su Zhe looked at the wooden house of the two old men, and smiled dumbly, this is not much bigger than the carriage brought over, of course it can be squeezed, but it is not good to trouble or disturb the two old men.

"Two uncles, don't bother, we have come all the way, and we are used to sleeping on the ground. Su Zhe, who slept in a sedan chair all the way, said this with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

Some things will become natural things under the identity, because all this comfort is Su Zhe's own hard work.

Su Shui and Su Shui didn't force it, since Su Zhe said that there were some things to talk about tomorrow, then there was no need for them to ask more at this moment, and they returned to the wooden house and prepared to rest.

Watching the two old men enter the house, Su Zhe asked the people in the team to prepare to rest, and then called Qin Sang, Aunt Huang, and Qin He to come to his side, in fact, he had gone to see Qin Jun before, but his brother-in-law had already slept under a tree next to the carriage, snoring loudly, Su Zhe sighed and did not wake him up.

Qin Sang and the three followed Su Zhe, and the four of them walked on the moonlit dirt road, passing the wooden houses of the villagers of Sujia Village along the way, only to see that the doors were closed, and the people inside were basically asleep.

Seeing that the four of them didn't say much, Su Zhe led the way and came to the banana plantation, where the whole hill is full of banana trees, and now they are all green and green, and there is still a period of time before they are ripe. Once ripe, the mountains are full of gold, like a sea of gold, and it is also a particularly spectacular scenery at that time.

Su Zhe pointed to the banana trees and said, "See, I am going to use bananas as the starting point for Sujia Village to make a fortune, and when the time comes, the mountains and fields will be planted with banana trees, and once the harvest is harvested, it will be a huge income." ”

"The lord is so wise. Aunt Huang praised.

"What, he's just a crooked snack. Qin Sang habitually belittled Su Zhe, who naturally didn't care.

The two big men looked at each other and smiled, silent.

Su Zhe took the three people behind him and continued to climb up, and came to the cemetery behind the banana orchard, under the moonlight, he saw countless dense bulges in different heights in front of him, after Su Zhe arrived, he looked at the mounds, and he couldn't tell which was the grave of his parents.

The bodies of all the dead villagers of Sujia Village are buried here, those who went down to the river and were swept away by the undercurrent, they will take the clothes worn by the people who died in the river before their death, and bury them here, and those who were killed in the mountains, if they can find the bones, even if they only have stump arms and legs, they will be taken back for burial, so that they can be buried in the ground.

But there is no tombstone, so there is often a joke, and then the person who died, to bury his bones, when digging the pit, dug someone else's grave, Sujia Village, as a village people who love each other, does not pay so much attention to it, and directly with the bones that were dug up, I don't know whose bones, buried the two bones of Gu Xin together.

Until now, this place is not a mass grave more like a mass grave, and it is really fortunate that not one or two powerful ghosts have been born.

Su Zhe knelt down in the direction of the approximate location where his parents were buried, and kowtowed three times, Qin Sang was the same, even if he was pregnant, Su Zhe did not stop Qin Sang from kneeling and kowtowing.

Time flies, and eight months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past eight months, for Sujia Village, it is tantamount to eight years have passed, and Sujia Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Since Su Zhe became the first village head, the entire Sujia Village under his leadership, the first thing is to start to open the road between Sujia Village and Beimo City, this matter in addition to whether the villagers of Sujia Village are willing, in fact, it depends on whether one person agrees, that is, Su Zhe's friend who is a scholar, and now the county magistrate of Beimo City, the county seat.

In fact, before everything, Su Zhe also negotiated with him, and after talking about all aspects, he embarked on the journey to find his hometown without distraction.

Although the county magistrate was partial because Su Zhe was his friend, he generally looked at it from the perspective of whether it would be beneficial to Beimo City after the connection between Sujia Village and Beimo City.

After both parties agreed and were willing, eight months ago, on the second day after arriving at Sujia Village, Su Zhe asked Qin He to follow the road they had come here to return to Beimo City, and let the county magistrate from Beimo City start construction and open a road to Sujia Village.

The county order of the lord of Beimo City first asked the imperial court to get a batch of appropriations, and voluntarily levied money from the big families in Beimo City, and there was also some income, and then coupled with the inventory of Beimo City and all of Su Zhe's family property, it should be enough to open up the road connecting Beimo City and Sujia Village.

At the same time, in order to reduce the consumption of manpower, Su Zhe asked most of the men in Sujia Village to go to the intersection at the end of Beimo City to help, reducing a lot of manpower and financial resources, which can also allow the villagers of Sujia Village to see the outside world as soon as possible and communicate with people outside earlier.

Beimo City is in full swing, Sujia Village is naturally not calm here, among those people brought by Su Zhe, there are blacksmiths, blacksmiths on the second day after coming to Sujia Village, and a few Sujia Village hunters who are familiar with the surrounding mountains enter the mountains to look for mineral resources, if you really find the mine, it will become one of the hard pillars of Sujia Village to become a prosperous place.

The mountains are steep, the resources are abundant, and they are almost inexhaustible, which is the capital of Sujia Village.

The tailor taught the women in Sujia Village to weave and improve the simple weaving tools in Sujia Village.

A big fat man is the chef of a famous restaurant in North Mocheng, and that restaurant happens to be in the name of Su Zhe, so the fat chef was called to Sujia Village to teach the villagers of Sujia Village a variety of cuisines.

There is also an architect, the first to help Su Zhe build a new home, originally Su Zhe wanted to learn from the romantic gentleman to build a "Hui" type house built of green bamboo in Sujia Village, but there is not even a bamboo forest in the mountains around Sujia Village, Su Zhe had to give up, change bamboo to wood, in the architect and his men day and night with their efforts, a double-layer wooden back house was built in just half a month.

During this period, Su Zhe naturally also personally contributed to the work, it was no big deal, although he was only nearly forty, a middle-aged man with a little gray hair, he used to come over like this.

Next to it, Su Yu and Su Shui's wooden house was also demolished, Su Zhe did not cross the river and tear down the bridge or take revenge, but let the two old people also live in the big wooden house in the back shape, and there are people to take care of them, so that the old people will not work hard all their lives, and they will be so hard and sad in their old age.

The houses in the entire Sujia Village are facing reconstruction, and they have seen the big wooden house where Su Zhe lives now, and they are all willing to accept the reconstruction. It's just that he has to wait a lot of time, Su Zhe built a new home, so that these people who followed him could have a shelter from the wind and rain, and the other Sujia village houses needed to wait until the road was opened and materials were transported from the Beimo City before they could build tile houses. Although tile houses could be built in Sujia Village at that time, there is an urgent shortage of manpower in Sujia Village and it is out of date.

All occupations are available, thoughtful, if you want to say the most leisurely, except for a person surnamed Qin who eats and waits for death, it belongs to Kong Qiu, and it is easy and happy.

I saw that on a hill in Nasujia Village, with the help of that architect, a mountain school house was built, and every morning, there was a loud sound of reading echoing under the green mountain.

The breeze on the mountain, accompanied by the sound of reading, the children are sometimes noisy, sometimes concentrated, and the taste of the world is Qinghuan.

Those are all children under the age of ten, of course, the Ren family has the "no refusal to come" above the trial teaching, and the children or adults in the village, as long as they want to come here to listen to the class, they are all okay, there are no taboos.

Since then, there have been people in Sujia Village who can read and write in this generation, no matter what these children choose to do in the future, at least the education they should get when they are young. In the future, even if they don't study anymore, it is a choice that has nothing to do with right or wrong, but the books they read when they were young, and the truths they understand, will tell them how to be a better person, that's all, but it is enough.

Reading is not to specify what kind of person the reader becomes, but to let the person who reads choose what kind of person to become, which is the core meaning of reading.

Eight months today is the end of something, but it's the beginning of everything.

The road was completed.

That road is called Sujia Road.

Beimo City can be relieved, but Sujia Village is about to breathe a sigh of relief again, and it is necessary to make a comprehensive reconstruction of Sujia Village.

In addition to rebuilding, it is also necessary to build restaurants, fabric shops, blacksmith shops, etc., as for why the restaurant was built, because Su Zhe wanted to build a shooting range here in Sujia Village, which could be provided to the disciples of those schools in Beimo City to practice riding and archery.

However, in the past few days in Sujia Village, the clouds are thick, that is, there is no rain, sometimes in broad daylight, the clouds and mist in the sky are frighteningly black, blocking the sun, making it like a dark night.

The respected old gentleman who taught on the mountain said that he knew a little about astronomy and geography, and said that there would be strong winds and rains in the near future, so that everyone should stop their work and take measures to prevent rain.

Everyone thought so, and naturally did it.

After noon on this day, the world on this side of Sujia Village was pitch black, and the radius of a hundred miles was like falling into the night, and in the sky, the clouds were like a large amount of lead powder, which was extremely black.

The big wooden house named Qingyun Garden by Su Zhe, the hostess of the wooden house felt dizzy at the beginning of noon, eight months have passed, and ten months have passed since Qin Sang first became pregnant, and she is pregnant in October, Qin Sang has a hunch that the baby in her womb will be born today.

Aunt Huang asked Qin Sang to rest in the room, saying that the various signs of this body, the child must have been born today, and asked her to wait quietly in bed, not to be too impatient and nervous, which affected the birth of the baby.

Not long after, Su Zhe also came to the room, followed by Qin He, and outside the door were several clever slaves and maids who had been brought from the North Mo City not long ago.

In the sky, the endless clouds and ink are getting thicker and thicker, and in the same way, heavy rain is coming.

Along the river in Sujia Village, the big waves on the wide river are surging, one after another, slapping the river sky, making a spatial sound, which is by no means an ordinary wave.

It is the innate divine ability that accompanies the gods.

On the surface of the river, bubbles spewed, and a tall spirit in an inky black robe floated from it, at least a zhang high, under the black sky, the appearance could not be seen clearly, only a pair of pupils were like a pair of turquoise, fluorescent.
